  • Patent number: 11697179
    Abstract: New aluminum alloy brazing sheets are disclosed. The new aluminum alloy brazing sheets may include a core, an interliner layer adjacent the core, and a braze liner adjacent the interliner layer. The interliner layer may include a first aluminum alloy having at least 0.35 wt. % Si and from 0.05 to 2.0 wt. % Mg. The braze liner may include a second aluminum alloy having 0.05 to 2.0 wt. % Mg. The first aluminum alloy and the second aluminum alloy may include an amount of magnesium sufficient to achieve Tsolidus(IL)?5° C. Tliquidus(BL). The new aluminum alloy brazing products may be useful, for instance, in fluxfree brazing.

  • Publication number: 20190338434
    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for electrodepositing multi-component alloys, and products made by the same. The electrodeposition may be accomplished to deposit one or more multi-component alloy layers on a substrate. In one embodiment, a substrate is a bulk metal glass. In one embodiment, a substrate is an aluminum alloy substrate. In one embodiment, preconfigured cathode and/or anode configurations are used, which may facilitate, among other things, a uniform current density.

  • Publication number: 20190309402
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to various embodiments of aluminum alloy products having fine eutectic-type structures and methods for making the same. The method for producing an aluminum alloy product having a fine eutectic-type structure comprising selectively heating at least a portion of an additive manufacturing feedstock to a temperature above a liquidus temperature of the additive manufacturing feedstock, thereby forming a molten pool; and cooling the molten pool, thereby forming a solidified mass.

  • Publication number: 20170326690
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to new metal powders, wires and other physical forms for use in additive manufacturing, welding and cladding, and multi-component alloy products made from such metal powders, wires and forms via additive manufacturing, welding and cladding. The composition(s) and/or physical properties of the metal powders, wires or forms may be tailored. In turn, additive manufacturing, welding and cladding may be used to produce a tailored multi-component alloy product.
